St. George, 2013 Craven Family Vacation

Seems like St. George is our go-to vacation place. We love it...just wish that maybe once we would go NOT in the summer with 300 degree heat! ;)  All in all, though, we had a great time and made some great memories!

Jillisa got us a totally sweet hook-up this time around. We stayed at Berry Springs Ranch in Hurricane and LOVED it! It was stressful keeping the kids from breaking things and/or drowning, but it was great sleeping accommodations (best bed I have EVER slept in!) and anything we could possibly want to do was right at our fingertips.

We took the drive to St. George slow--it was great! Made a stop at Cabela's and in Scipio at a petting zoo. So much fun! SO MUCH WIND!

We pulled into Hurricane and took in our digs.  It was BEAUTIFUL!  And dangerous! :)  We had been there all of 30 seconds when Josh had tried to climb on an antique carosaul horse and it came crumbling to the ground.  The pretty stuff was quickly moved to higher locations! :)

The dang horse...

After making the area safe for the littles, we got right to work with having fun!

All too soon, the week was over.  It was a success--nobody drowned (there was a door to the pool in EVERY SINGLE ROOM in the house), nothing else broke, and everybody stayed happy. It was great!

We stopped at Cove Fort on our way home--it was neat!

I'm missing a lot of the pictures we took, but my sweet hubby just re-worked the computer and I can't find them.  You get the idea though, I'm sure! :)
